What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Sink repair in Breach Barns, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and an original basin worth saving, in Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Do you need sink repair in Breach Barns?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A chipped vanity basin
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Common questions in Breach Barns
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work in Breach Barns?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Breach Barns for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
